Flechazo - ’love at first sight’ - is Pia Riverola’s debut monograph, a photographic love letter to Mexico -
its culture, people and spirited way of life.
Starting in 2012, Flechazo is a documentation of 10 years spent across the wide country - from Ixtapa to Oaxaca and Mexico City- characterized by her delicate colour palettes and gentle scenes. A journey of intuition and sel- led discovery, the book is a constantly evolving mirror of Riverola’s self, her encounters and state of mind. Resulting in a body of work that is full of love, empathy and a sensuality that highlights the magical details and moments in between Mexican life (or ‘that are the golden threads in the weave of Mexican life’)

Flechazo takes you on a nostalgic journey along Mexican destinations and encounters, capturing its upbeat soul, rich culture, famously lush nature, dreamy beaches and tropical flora- in Riverola’s distinctly captivating and romantic detail. ‘Light and love can turn the mundane into beautiful and the other way around, beauty can become dull without it.’- Pia Riverola
Born in Barcelona and travelling the globe for her photography, in Mexico Riverola spent her formative years growing into a photographer, woman, lover, mother - and latest Mexican resident.
‘Mexico became my motherland instantly, my guide and my inspiration. Its people and nature took care of me in a defining moment in my life where it nourished me to become my own self - both personally and professionally. I felt part of it from the first moment I arrived, but it also challenged me to fight passionately for myself and my beliefs, which marked a path of growth for me in every aspect of life. Flechazo is my tribute.’
Flechazo is the book that will make you fall in love with Mexico -even when you’ve never been.
